Home / Accessibility Statement

Macie’s Foundation is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are dedicated to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities and continually work to improve the user experience for everyone.

Accessibility Standards

Macie’s Foundation aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and user-friendly for everyone.

Where applicable, our website also incorporates Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes to enhance accessibility for users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Macie’s Foundation takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

  • Integrating accessibility into our design and development practices

  • Using semantic HTML and appropriate ARIA roles, states, and properties to improve compatibility with assistive technologies

  • Providing text alternatives (alt text) for non-text content where appropriate

  • Ensuring content is navigable using a keyboard interface without requiring a mouse

  • Maintaining sufficient color contrast to support users with low vision

  • Supporting resizable text and responsive layouts without loss of content or functionality

  • Structuring content with proper heading hierarchy and landmarks to aid navigation

Compatibility with Assistive Technologies

The Macie’s Foundation website is designed to be compatible with modern browsers and commonly used assistive technologies, including screen readers (such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver), screen magnification software, and speech recognition tools. We strive to ensure that interactive components expose appropriate ARIA labels and roles to assistive technology users.

Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, some content may not yet fully conform to the highest accessibility standards. This may include legacy content or third-party applications that are not fully accessible. We are actively working to address these limitations and, where possible, provide accessible alternatives.

Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. Macie’s Foundation regularly evaluates its website using a combination of automated accessibility testing tools and manual reviews to identify and remediate potential barriers. We remain committed to continuous improvement as accessibility standards and technologies evolve.
